Close Your Tax Account the Right Way — Without Penalties or Delays
Corporate Tax Deregistration is the process of formally notifying the FTA that your business
is no longer liable for corporate tax—either due to:
• Cessation of business activity
• Business liquidation or closure
• Falling below the taxable income threshold
• Shifting to an exempt or free zone status
Failing to deregister properly can result in accumulating penalties, even if your business is
inactive.
